Abstract
This paper presents the initial results of the latest research of the vaccean pottery workshop of Tordehumos (Valladolid). The investigation of the site used diverse documentation techniques. Firstly, a electromagnetic prospection were conducted, through which we obtained a series of tomographic maps showing the resistivity of the ground elements at different depths. Secondly, an archaeological excavation was carried out, in which various materials were found (ceramics, some of them with cooking failures, vitrified revokes of pottery kilns, mud lumps with fingering, etc.) that confirmed the pottery activity in the settlement. In addition, we documented a pit, whose discussion presents different possibilities in relation to its functionality. In spite of the absence of in situ structural elements in this pit, the presence in its bottom of a clay level with charcoal and another with ashes suggest the development of activities related to fire. The results obtained permit to securely associate Tordehumos with the pottery activity during the Second Iron Age of the Northem Plateau, adding another site to the few and poorly known vaccean pottery workshops.
